    We purchased this to back up our home computers and laptops. So far the easystore has lived up to its name. It was absurdly easy to set up and use, and has performed flawlessly so far. I can definitely recommend purchasing the easystore if you're looking for a quick and reliable way to back up your computers/data.

    I bought two and ended up shucking them for my Plex drive. They both ended up being white labels and needed the 3-pin tape trick for them to work, but they work just fine. They both have been running since November non-stop without issue. I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking for big storage needs.

    I disassembled the HDD and I'm using it in a Plex server. The HDD does a great job and I got it for a steal on Black Friday.

    It is a large drive. I use it as a photo storage device. Transfers large files relatively quickly, not blindingly fast, but more than acceptable. It does make some noise.
